Handley Page Hampden in Canada

My guess is that this was shot at Aylmer, Ontario. As usual, Harvards feel the need to hog the spotlight... (And rightfully so...)

It looks like we are due a new 1/72 Hampden from Valom in the very near future. I don't own a Airfix Hampden so I'd like one, but I have a feeling it will be priced out of my league. (I got sticker shock when I saw the prices for the recent Valom early Marauders. I think I'll follow through with my Monogram/Airfix kitbash for an early Marauder.)
